The Chaperone tells the true, previously untold story of a lone school teacher who fought off an entire motorcycle gang while chaperoning a middle school dance in a church basement in 1970s Montreal, Canada. Told from the first person unscripted perspective of the school teacher and DJ who were there that night, The Chaperone recreates the whole scene using hand drawn animation, miniature sets, puppets, live action Kung Fu and explosions all done in stereoscopic 3D. With over 10,000 hand drawings (many of which were colored in crayon by hand), an original blaxploitation score and featuring a cast of over 200 people, The Chaperone is an unconventional approach to documentary shorts.
Released in 2013, The Chaperone is a animation and documentary film from Thoroughbread Pictures (Canada). It was directed by Fraser Munden and written by Fraser Munden and Neil Rathbone. The cast is led by Ralph Whims, Stefan Czernatowicz, Fraser Munden, Chris McMahon and Fred Nguyen Khan. With a runtime of 12m, the film averages 6.8/10 across 4 TMDB ratings.
